I think part of the reason this album hit No. 1 and the previous one didn’t is that this album is much stronger. Granted, a lot of the tracks on the album are B-sides from their past singles, but I think the B-sides were better than the A-sides!

hehe our angels still making history. here’s to another 1st under their already long list of 1st. so glad to see this album doing good so far and hoping it continue to do better in the future with all their Japanese promotions. they’re either platinum now or going to be platinum soon, i forgot if it’s 100,000 or 150,000 for platinum status on Japan charts. anyway i’m proud and happy that i bought my copies to support the girls and yes i’m enjoying the songs very much. they’re my jams at work giving me energy. ONLY SNSD!
thanks SSF. jjang! jjang! jjang!
